which shews the author not to be altogether "unused to the rhyming mood." Beyond the region of descriptive nature, however, Mr. E. seldom ventures with success, and in the narrative or humorous attempts of which he is sometimes guilty, we think he often falls even below mediocrity. Where pure "description holds the place of sense," the author should give free play to purely rural and imaginative feelings, uninterrupted by cold reasoning and inquiries into natural philosophy. It is this which renders our Darwinian poetry comparatively tame and insipid. Research into the causes of things is far from being the true object of poetry, and we do not quite approve of Mr. E.'s opening his poem with an apostrophe to the elements, more particularly that of water, before he ventures upon a description of the river. Though not very bold or original, the poetry of Mr. E. is often picturesque and pleasing, with very happy rural and local imagery.

We know not whether Rosario, a Tale, by NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, be truly attributed to the deceased Emperor, or not; nor is the question of much importance, as the story is not calculated to excite any interest, and its mediocrity can reflect neither discredit nor praise upon the author. It is possible that Bonaparte may, as stated in the introduction, have narrated the outline of such a tale for the amusement of his private circle; and if that were the case, we have no doubt that the recital was as entertaining as the present imitation is crude and dull. But in fact our scepticism inclines us to exonerate Napoleon from any share whatever in this posthumous publication; in which the title page would insinuate that he has an actual interest, it being somewhat comically stated therein that it is printed for the author-it may be so, but then the author is not Napoleon Bonaparte.

The Rambles of My Uncle is a pleasing little work, in the manner of Sterne, which makes no pretensions to superior ability, but appeals, not unsuccessfully, to the kinder feelings of the heart. It records the desultory rambles of a poor curate, and the various scenes and characters which pass before him, with a great deal of sim-. plicity and some effect. From many allusions to facts and persons, it appears, though recently published, to have been written many years ago. It is not without some discreditable deficiencies in grammar which could hardly have been committed by a member of the profession to which the author is represented to belong.

Had not our experience warned us not to form any opinion from its title as to the subject of Considerations on the Coronation Oath, by an Officer of Rank in the Royal Navy, we should never have sup

posed it to be a theological disquisition on the Unitarian doctrines. Such, so far as we can understand it, it seems to be, and any one who chooses to consult it in that light, will find it much to the purpose. One passage, indeed, particularly struck us as presenting an excellent mode of arguing questions of divinity. It is a contrast betwen the Catholic faith and the Bible, in which the latter is placed in opposition to what the author deems a conflicting doctrine of the church, and the reader is left to reconcile them as well as he can-a very fair way of debating the question, which we would recommend to more general use.

our

We were prepared to expect something interesting in the recent publication of Faustus, from the German of Goethe-"Goethe's Faustus!" we said to selves," he must be a bold man who has ventured to translate this most original, most untranslateable of the products of human genius," On inspecting the book, however, our commiseration for the translator's labours was greatly diminished. Its title is manifestly an unfair one, unless accompanied with some sort of caveat emptor. At best it purports to be only an analysis of the plot, interlarded with extracts; and in reality it turns out to be nothing more than the usual quantity of letter-press, got up for Moses's copies of Retsch's exquisite outlines, and then turned into an octavo form to run the chance of a separate sale either to those whom the title and the price would naturally enough lead to suppose they were sending for the whole play, or to those, who having penetrated that disguise, would be caught with the next plea that the publication is not merely "a book of reference and explanation for the use of the purchasers of the plates," " but is also to " possess some claims to interest as an independent publication." We venture to affirm that it has none whatever beyond its primary object, and that the arranger would have better discharged his duty by marring no more of the beautiful and sublime original than was absolutely necessary to make the plates intelligible. Why will persons, whose capacity extends only to doing a foreign author into literal English, fancy themselves qualified to feel and transfer thoughts, which the greatest masters of language and poetry would avow thenselves incompetent adequately to express? We know, perhaps, but one individual in Europe who would be likely to succeed in giving a new dress to the profound thought and daring speculation, the biting sarcasm and deep pathos of this mighty poem. But these qualities, perhaps, the present translator has not perceived, and is content, as his readers must be (with the exception of a scene or two at the opening) to follow a connected

These songs are composed in a clear and unembarrassed style, and evince the power of the master to adapt his melody to the various feelings of nature. The sense of the words is strongly and agreeably conveyed; and the general effect is appropriate and attractive.
